Interventional Radiology Management of Genitourinary Trauma: Literature, Current Practice, and Strategies for the Future

The genitourinary tract is commonly injured in blunt and penetrating trauma. Improvements in interventional radiology (IR) techniques increasingly allow for minimally invasive treatment options for a range of genitourinary injuries. Through ongoing advances in image-guided techniques, IR physicians continue to refine genitourinary trauma management, improving treatment efficacy and safety. This review describes the background, current practices, and future directions for IR-guided genitourinary trauma management.
